This weeks Chonny and Joe reminisce about their favourite memories with SBS PopAsia. Chonny's was when he cam to Sydney to do a live show for Chinese New Year! It was a lot of fun and the crown were great. Joe's was coming to SBS PopAsia HQ in Sydney and meeting the team (especially Andy Trieu). What are your fave mems?
This week Chonny asks if he's a psychic. When Chonny stays at hotels, he gets a weird feeling, a bad energy in the room; he feels uncomfortable, like someone's watching him. He felt it when he was staying in Japan. When he went to Hiroshima, he felt sick on the bus ride to the nuclear bomb site and he told his girlfriend (Dalena) he didn't want to go. Dalena's friend had seen ghosts walking around the bomb site when she visited Hiroshima. Chonny got the spooky feeling, which he thinks means he's psychic. Or he could just be paranoid. What do you think?
This week Chonny is joined by his girlfriend, Dalena and they answer your questions. There's some intimate ones, embarrassing one and a lot of overshare in the answers. The couple reveal if they think each other are 'the one,' the most expensive clothing they own, their favourite thing about Japan, the biggest thing they've overcome in life (together), if pineapple belongs on pizza, the most memorable video they've made together and their next holiday destination. You learn so much about Chonny...
Chonny has three invention ideas that he's claimed all rights to. Number one is a 'chopspoon' because he loves chopsticks, but there's one thing you can't eat with them - soup. So he's invented a way of combining chopsticks with a spoon so you can use both. Chonny's willing to call it a 'spoonstick' if any investor prefers that. Second is a see through hair salon cape so you can use your phone while you're at the hairdresser, without getting hair on your hand or phone. Thirdly is a red pocket t-shirt. This is mainly just a design inspired by Chinese people having red pockets to put money in. Which one do you want invented?
